For ALL student-athletes who plan on getting a full scholarship or eventually going pro. Advice: better have a Plan B. Education is THE answer. Sports have been the feature story of my life, but education made me successful.

The NCAA charts the probability of competing beyond high school.

Of the more than 1 million high school football players in the country, only 6.5 percent of those play in the NCAA.

From the present NCAA to pro, the percentage falls to 1.6 percent.

Baseball is only slightly higher with 6.8 percent of high school players making it in the NCAA.

Basketball is the toughest, with 3.3 percent for men and 3.7 for women playing in NCAA.

"And this doesn't even take into account those who make it, but never play, get injured, or can't cut it academically," Scurran said. "Think about the odds. That's why I tell all of my athletes to be a 'student' first. Education is the answer to every problem. Sports can be a means to that end."
